Guest Post from Ann
Photo editing can have some truly
creepy results. I’m thinking of one over-edited picture in particular of a
toddler I know in which the child appears to have eyes and skin more befitting
a member of the Cullen clan than a cute little cherub. I’m a big believer in
trying to get things right the first time when I’m photographing something.
And, yeah, yeah, Yoda said, “Try not. Do.” That said, sometimes your photos
could use a crop. Or you want to put some text on them to make an invitation.
Or you want to make a Warhol-esque photo collage of an incredibly cute baby.
You can do all those things in
iPiccy, and it’s free and pretty darn easy. You go to iPiccy.com, upload your
photo and get to playing. The menu that pops up first includes a some things
that are super-handy, including a cropping tool and a place to resize your
images easily for, say, Facebook. Across the top, there are little symbols,
including a magic wand for photo effects (that’s where you’ll find the pop art
tool that I used for the photo above), a retouching tool and more.
My tips: Save your original, save
your new version frequently as you edit, use a light hand with the tools
(seriously, nobody’s skin should look like Barbie’s) and have fun.
